The Yankees needs a Spark - The Michael Kay Show TMKS July 3 2024

[@Lord_Bibulous]

You're wrong Kay. The Yankees management isn't smart.

[@user-by9jb2kj3c]

Michael, I couldn’t agree more. Re: Spencer Jones and Rice

[@joekasprzak9701]

Jerad serna 2b

[@Kennygrooms]

Michael is right! AA Jones is better than non competitive Jones

[@generalimlerith8356]

Jones isn’t the answer he hasn’t even touched triple A

[@CamKrazy2000]

LOL the guy is still in AA, going from there to ML is a huge jump for a position player. The #1 prospect in baseball, Jackson Holliday, was sent down after 10 games.

[@maikygonzalez7886]

Fire bone

[@jessepatterson8823]

Stanton went down and this team stopped hitting.

[@yank4334]

i agree with the caller bring up rice and jones. when stanton comes back this may solidify the lineup plus you have jones and rice. the difficult part is plus they may need to get a really good righty bat from a trade or something.

[@snerdterguson]

Losing Rizzo was a low key killer. I know his numbers weren't very good, but his presence in the lineup mattered. He has so many long at bats and would wear down pitchers. Stanton going down was also a killer, but an expected one. Kay is right, the biggest injury was Dominguez.

[@cliftonbennett6420]

Yankees are basically the angels when they had trout and ohtani. Soto is a great player but if resigning him means this is the team we are stuck with might not be the smartest

[@jamesmichael5475]

The Yankees entered the season with no productive bat off the bench, when injuries to Stanton, DJ, Judge were virtual guarantees, given their history. That is on Cashman. No one could know what Rizzo would produce coming off a misdiagnosed Traumatic Brain Injury, and he has not hit or fielded well before his fracture. Claiming Jason Dominguez was your backup plan to cover for Stanton when he inevitably went on the IL, is baseball stupidity,, because guys coming back from surgery often incur setbacks and other injuries. Not having a viable productive bat off the bench is inexcusable and is totally on Trashman. Jones and Grisham look horrible at the plate, Verdugo a career singles hitter, averaging around 40 rbi per season is batting 4th or 5th for the Yankees when he is a 6th - 7th hitter at best. Gil has hit a wall and to push him much further risks jeopardizing his career, as an arm injury will be the inevitable consequence.

[@dakidmalo629]

Verdugo is not a career singles hitter. He hits a high amount of doubles. And Cabrera is reliable off the bench. The days of having guys like Ruben Sierra on the bench r just not a thing. Who has a great bench to u right now ?

[@jamesmichael5475]

Cabrera can not be characterized as a productive and reliable bat off the bench. He started off hot and has gone ice cold. Furthermore, while Verdugo gets his fair share of doubles, he is not and never has been an RBI guy, averaging around 40 rbi's per season, so batting him 4th or 5th is ridiculous, very telling regarding the lack of depth on the Yankee roster. Every team incurs injuries during the course of the season, one injured player shouldn't tank your season, but that is what has happened here. Stanton going down has yielded a very adverse effect. Rizzo wan't hitting anyway, certainly not for power, and he wasn't fielding very well, so his absence can hardly be considered a catastrophic loss.

[@jocklazer5526]

@@jamesmichael5475its a shame because Boone always stops using cabrera when he’s not

[@crodd9863]

Would have been nice to have Berti at this time too

[@brianearly1053]

This team and current lineup is 💩. I totally agree, bring Spencer up and when Rice is on fire at the plate don’t bench him for a game. Love Rizzo, but his time is rapidly approaching an end. DJ is pretty much at retirement and Dugi is faulting fast. AGAIN!!!! Yankees can’t play small ball because they have no speed except for Volpe. Torres needs to be traded at deadline. No idea why Davis was brought over. You can’t wait for a month or two in this tight race to wait for injured players to come back. Stanton, will be out until August, have no impact until the playoffs.

[@GiantsJets718]

Dominguez is good but unfortunately he looks like One of those players that’s going to be injury prone in their career which doesn’t bode well

[@jpavlvs]

It's pitching. It's always pitching. Jones would be nice. Verdugo isn't doing anything.

[@jameskelmenson1927]

Jahmai jones actually has a decent amount of potential. You can expect plate discipline and power

[@RobertEarl-nw6pv]

Yankees need a new manager and pitching coach

[@snerdterguson]

They literally have one of the, if not THE best pitching coach in baseball.

[@RobertEarl-nw6pv]

If he is so great why can't he fix there horrible pitching

[@guard099]

No shyt!

[@user-vx5qg7hj5t]

lol you think Spencer jones

[@LOCOSCLAN718]

I'm seriously confused of what's going on to the point where who to blame. Everyone has shut down and when that happens someone administratively or coaching pissed the players off. It's a morale issue. If you have a coach that gets kicked out of games cause of anger issues then you say to yourself how is he with ball players. Does Boone empower, motivate, inspire players. That's the problem.

[@joekasprzak9701]

Jared serna also dump torres

[@scottsmith1455]

Twenty Two is not young anymore for a top prospect! Just bring him up and play him!!!!

[@g311music]

This is the lunacy of the New York Yankees Ben Rice has been the best hitter other than Soto and Judge and they bench him for JD Davis?? If I didn’t know any better one might think Davis is Cashman’s nephew or something, him being on this team feels like it’s a favor to his auntie or something my goodness you go out and pick up a player the Oakland A’s DFA’d!!! The freaking A’s not the Dodgers or Phillies or Baltimore, the A’s that’s where we are with Yankees baseball in 2024 we are taking the shit stock from one of the worst teams in baseball! Good job Cashman you are officially the worst GM in the major leagues!

[@clemersmonroe5183]

I’m gonna start calling him JD cashman

[@Lord_Bibulous]

They can't have Rice doing too good so they have an excuse to put Rizzo out there. Yankees don't want to pay high salaries to sit them for a younger player. To the detriment of the team's success.

[@larryrenda3262]

Ben Rice needs to play everyday

[@garrysaint-vil725]

Maybe related to wabc tv over voice announcer bill rice 🪦

[@joekasprzak9701]

Get rid of d.j. jones grisham torres, volpe to triple a call up peraza

[@calebfernandez7782]

The Yankees are old and injury prone as always... This is no surprise like every year !

[@JasonThomasLionHeart]

Agreed, Dominguez going down was a killer. I would like to either see Spencer Jones promotes to the MLB or trade him for immediate value. Trade Gleyber Torres and Jose Trevino. DFA DJ Lemahieu. Get Cody Bellinger and Ryan McMahon. Give Ben Rice and Austin Wells everyday at bats. Build around Juan Soto and Aaron Judge now while you can. And finally I hope Anthony Volpe and Alex Verdugo can start producing again, I have faith in them still. DJ and Gleyber underperforming is killing this team, we can't abide it. I'm not going to blame our bench guys like Oswaldo Cabrera, Trent Grisham, and Jamai Jones, but those guys can't be in our starting lineup and JD Davis was not a solution to our anemic offense

[@depp0000000000]

Fire. Boone.

[@JigglesJingle]

Yankees are throwing away the season having that trash Grisham play. He's only there for DEI, diversity quotas too because it makes no rational, honest sense to have him there and not Spencer Jones.

[@yank4334]

yanks look really bad! getting swept by the reds at home shows alot . thier pitching needs to be fixed. eveything else comes in place...besides volpe , judge and soto, they need DJ , verdugo and torres ( 2 out of the 3 at least ) to start hitting the ball; otherwise the yankees may make the playoffs but they will lose pretty quickly or even worse not make the playoffs at all.

[@FC-gq9eb]

Yankees Front Office is very smart!!!! Lmfao!!!! Look at this product on the field.

[@neiljenkins5356]

I have one word for this team SOFT!! No accountability either

[@g311music]

You could pick up a city hot dog vendor off the street slap a Yankees uniform on him throw him in the cleanup spot and you would get the same results your getting from JD Davis or any player not named Soto or Judge! I wonder if Michael Kay is tired of saying “and the Yankees are retired in order” This team is a laughing stock, holy cow! It’s an absolute waste of time watching this team day after day!

[@RobertEarl-nw6pv]

They suck

[@Craig-jz5jd]

Whenever I watch a game and Michael Kay is in the broadcast booth, I automatically mute him. He is totally unobjective and all he does is kiss Yankee butt.

[@markmilitant]

Yankees got swept 🧹 by the Cincinnati Reds the Yankees are garbage 🗑 😂
